Product details

Breaking capacity — what those voltage-specific ratings mean

This MCCB delivers 121 kA at 240 VAC, 75.6 kA at 415 VAC, 52.5 kA at 440 VAC, and 11.9 kA at both 500 VAC and 690 VAC. On a 480 V panel with 65 kA available fault current, this breaker has headroom.

Thermal derating — real-world current capability

Above that, it starts to step down: 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C. Still enough for a 40 A feeder if the load is continuous at 32 A or so, but worth factoring into the wire sizing and the load schedule.

What's on the van — integration notes

The shunt trip (STL) release allows remote tripping via an external signal. The TM210 release is thermal-magnetic with no electronic adjustment. The 70 mm depth fits standard enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VA1040-4ED32-0KA0's listed depth on this component line?

The depth is 70 mm (2.76 inches), which fits standard panel depths without crowding the wireway.

What is 3VA1040-4ED32-0KA0's listed width on this component line?

The width is 76.2 mm (3 inches), matching the standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or panel-mount installation.
